Toronto, Harlequin Books. 1992. (ISBN: 0373164629) Soft cover. Book, Was she dreaming? Hours before the costumed "Pirate's Ball," Elizabeth Rawley witnessed a strange spectacle in the waters off Key West. Engaged in mortal combat was the Black Cutter -- Captain Richard Colter's ship. Elizabeth was obsessed with the eighteenth-century ship's treasure -- and with its captain. A swashbuckling privateer who commanded the high seas and made women swoon for the favor of his wild passions.Elizabeth knew they would have loved each other with a passion to rock the heavens. If only they hadn't lived two hundred years apart. Then, on a moonlit beach, she found the body washed ashore -- in a homespun shirt, breeches and hemp tying back his long hair. But this was no costume .. and this was no dream. It was Richard Colter. And he was alive. As New.
